Carving-turn and edging angle of skis

説明

Carving-turn descents were performed with carving skis (shaped skis) and conventional skis. The two types of skis exhibited the following common characteristics during carving turn descents compared to conventional (parallel) turns: the amount of skidding was less and the coefficient of kinetic friction, μ, was smaller than these in a conventional (parallel) turn. On the other hand, the edging angles of both types of skis were wider than those for the parallel turn. Both types of skis exhibited almost the same skidding angle and edging angle. The differences between the two types of skis were as follows: μ of a turn was smaller with carving skis than that with conventional skis. Moreover, the radius of curvature of the sliding track, R, was smaller for carving skis than for conventional skis.
